A Fine Stationary Organ at the Metho.
dist Church.

The worship Christmas day at the Methodist
Episcopal Church South will have in its ap-
propriate place the new feature of a stationary
organ in the music. About one mo nth ago it
was determined to make this addition to the
completeness of the church, and 1t has been ac-
complished in that brief time. The instrument
has been placed in its position, at the right of
the pulpit looking from the entrance of the
church. The case is of black walnut finished
In hard oil and is complete in design of exteri-
or style. It is of the two.manual pedal, with
IA stops, 40S pipes. and a 16-feet pedal base.
There are Is front speaking pipes in three Sec
tions. These are richly ornamented in colors
and in gold. The ground color is lavender up
on which Is displayed ornam enta tions in gold,
blue and lumber brown.
This handsome instrument is from the Moll-
er Organ Company. of Hagerstown. Md, and is
| the sixth ofits kind placed in churches in diff
ferents parts of the country during the last few
weeks. Mr.. NJ. P. Moller of the man ufacturing
| company is now placing the organ in position
| in the church.
Prof Byrant of the Wesleyan Female Insti-
| tute will be the organist.
This elegant addition to the church is princi-
| palIy the work of Mr. J. W. Splitter. who made
known his purpose few weeks since. The
money is ready to pay for it as soon as it is &C
cepted.

thought was neuralgia, the effect of cold con-
| tracted few days before. She was not con-

Jesus" Were we, who knew her well all her
life, to speak of her as she deserves, persons
who did not know her so intimately, wouio
think we were exaggerating her virtues, ana
hence We will not give full expression either
to our feelings at her loss, or our Judgment OF
the merits of her character.
She was married at the early age of 16 years,
and was the mother of 10 children. seven OF
whom survive her. Her living children were
present at her death with the exception OF her
daughter Maggie, who was at Cedar Spring, s.
G.. and her son Eugene, who is in Colorado
Her death occurred so much earlier than was
anticipated that these children at a distance
could not be informed in time for them to get
here before their mothers spirit had departed.
In her youth Mrs. King was remarkable
for her personal beauty as she was through life
for her lovely character, and even up to the
time of her last illness, though the peach
bloom of youth had faded from her cheek
there were still, in her regular features and
benignant expression, traces of that beauty,
both of person and character. which so en-
inently distinguished her.
In all the adversely and trials OF life it was
her fate to encounter, she was patient, re
signed, and even cheerful, practicing the con-
soling faith that all was overruled and direct
ed for the best by kind and wise Providence.
In all the relations of life-as wife. mother
daughter, sister, friend, and christian-she
was faithful and devoted, kind, affectionate,
and loving.
Her remains will be taken to Waynesborc,
this. Wednesday, morning, to be laid to rest
beside those of her husband who preceded her
nearly three wears ago.

ESPECIAL TO THR APPEAL


NEW ORLEANS, La, June 4. -Today's
game was peculiar in many respects.
Doyle pitched for Memphis and was
only hit hard in two innings, the tifth
and ninth. In each OF the preceding
innings Memphis got big lead and
when the locals came to the bat they
slugged themselves ahead again.
MCKeough played short and Baker
third for Memphis and both did fine.
Phelan hunt his finger toward the end
of the game trying to stop terrific
high liner. Sommers pitched another
fine game for New Orleans, and was
we'll supported. The game was not
won until the last man was put out.
In the last inning Memphis needed
two to tie. Phelan scored on errors,
and Andrews hit safe, reached second
on q passed ball, and tried to score on
peltE's single TO left but was retired by
Campau's fine throw to the pate. Mem.
phis did most OF its hitting to right
field. Andrews and Black made home
runs in that direction, and Powell
caught ak flies there. Sneed was called
to Memphis today, and Andrews,
although sick, played, and captained.
Memphis leaves in the morning for
Birmingham. Nashville arrived and
will play tomorrow. Maui and Ewing
will pitch. Skinner umpired badly,
and mostly against New Orleans.
